My understanding is Buddhism is about kamma and not about mere belief. In my understanding, salvation by faith alone or identity is not related to Buddhism.
My understanding is hedonism leads to suffering.
Because unsatisfactory things are not “enjoyable”. My understanding of Buddhism is it is wrong view to regard conditioned things as “enjoyable”. I read this MN 115.
Natural motivations are ending suffering and ending the moral shame of harming others.
My understanding is there are different types of Buddhists; that Noble Buddhists have direct experience. Noble Buddhists have the right view all conditioned things are impermanent, unsatisfactory & not-self therefore is no “enjoyable” things except Nibbana; that hedonism is not an option.
